Within the moments of her symbolic rule, the privileged teenage girl promised that her government will supply sanitary pads and other girls’ needs to have a sound education.
Yankaba made the promise after calling for a State Executive Council meeting with her new cabinet members, to deliberate on issues of girl child education in the state.
Governor Yankaba said Kano state is in dire need of funds to build more classrooms, employ more teachers and give priority to ICT education.

Control TV reports that Governor Ganduje had earlier stated that he was handing over government willingly but briefly and “I’m coming back as soon as possible”.
Upon his return to the seat of power, Ganduje said, “During my absence, I witnessed how you ran the government and it was excellent, the executive council meeting was done marvellously, with all the commissioners contributing wonderfully.”
